71.progress表“进步”时，是不可数名词，故应去掉es.

72.fillsthwithsth表“用…将某物装满”，是固定用法。故应在rooms后加上

with.

73.根据文章此处应为噪音，故应将voice改成noise.

74.factory与their不对应，故应将其改成its.

75.make,let,have等动词只能跟不带to的不定式，作宾语补足语。故应将

ringing改成ring.

76.根据全文，此处不应说“因他们的吵闹而闻名”，即把by换成for.

77.去掉work前面的定冠词the,因为work此处是泛指。

78.修饰过去分词应该用副词，而不是形容词，故careful应为carefully.

79.本句中被分词修饰的jet是动作pass的发出者，也就是说jet与pass是主动

的关系，所以pass后应加上ing。本句中的从句是一个让步状语从句。而if却是

"如果"之意，所以最好将其换成though或although.
